An Unfair Situation

The entire situation is unfair and agonizing. Porter is terrified of Brenda. Brenda is horribly mean to him. Porter is so anxious his tale chasing and bed humping is getting worse. Ben can't come home without calling me to make sure Brenda is safe in her crate. Sadie needs to have more interactions with guests in the apartment so she can learn to trust strangers but coordinating such setups is too stressful with Brenda home.

I have no peace! My family has no peace!

It sounds like I'm complaining, but I'm really just trying to make myself feel better about the agonizing decision I am forced to make.

I have given Brenda all that I have in me.

I've been where you are and it sucks. What are your options?

Really, my only option is to euthanize her. She is unable to safely relate the world around her and I think separating her from me would devastate her--that's considering I could find someone to take her. There are just too many homeless dogs and not enough homes as it is.

I know. It'a awful. But I've read your website and I know how much you've given to her.
It's a horrible feeling.
